Although Toronto's nightlife isn't exactly sparse in its offerings, tonight yet another aspiring haunt is landing on the scene. What for more than ten years was known and loved by us as
Irie Food Joint has now been given a facelift, name change and an additional bar. Introducing
Harlem Underground, a soul food spot that is now as geared up to party as
Paris Hilton after having recovered from plastic surgery. Don't miss the grand opening celebration on the 800-square foot year-round patio
tonight at Harlem Underground (Saturday, November 21).

This is Sander Kleinenber Tour. With that said: if you are an aspiring DJ and over 15, I suggest that you reconsider your vocation. In order to be a legendary DJ like
Carl Cox or Sander Kleinenberg you have to be young and believe in 'magic'. (Sorry, what I meant to say, is that in order to be successful, music has to be your life). Kleinenberg is known for riling up crowds with his stylized mixture of music and customized video installations.

If neither of these options strike the Toronto teetotaler's fancy, I suggest you take your
English Breakfast to the
Bloor Street LAF. This light, art and food event features small nightlight sculptures created for the Bloordale streetlamps; retail stores transforming their shop windows into light and art projects and restaurants preparing tasty morsels at marginal cost. If that doesn’t sound like good, clean fun, you could always go stand outside the doors of
Canada's Wonderland and wait for next June to come.
